In Pursuit of Tea Dragon Egg Teapot
Best porcelain vessel for dedicated gongfu cha enthusiasts.
This celadon porcelain vessel turns a solo tea session into a meditative ritual. Its rounded shape provides the perfect environment for leaves to unfurl, though the small capacity means you will be reaching for the kettle more often than with a standard pot.
